at philae but moved to the island agilkia. this was done by UNESCO between the years of 1972 and 1980 after it was partly submerged by the building of the aswan dam. it was also moved block by block. the construction of the original was begun in the 4th century BC. enjoy this latest photo and bit of history! thanks for any comments (although totally unnecessary) in advance.

Great shot, Jen!! This is about as close to perfect as it gets. Trajan was a real nut but he would love this one for his collection. High marks all around for this capture...bravo!!!

A magnificent shot Jen - full of drama - that sky competes with the building for attention :) Fine work.

You're amazing. It's as if the world turns into one gorgeous place when you walk by it. I'm certainly glad you're a photographer and share this beauty that you come across with the rest of us. This is unbelievably dramatic and dynamic.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Great clarity and a wonderfully dramatic sky. Choosing that low angle for your shot was inspired. Well done!

I'm very far behind in my comments due to some recent family issues so please forgive this generic comment. I have viewed this image and found it to be very good. I didn't want to pass it by with out mentioning it's beauty. Thank you for sharing it with us. You have created a very beautiful image and I envy your talent. I hope to view more of your work and give a more personal comment in the near future. Your images are awsome.

Great shot, the angle is perfect, and thus is the composition too. I love it, it looks imposing, like it's still imbued with the same power as in the ancient times. Good work!
